VOLUME + CONTOUR + STRUCTURE
Injectables have become a cornerstone in cosmetic enhancement and restoration, offering non-surgical solutions for volume, contour, and structural improvements to the face and body. Here's an overview of the main techniques and applications:
TECHNIQUES
Dermal Injectables:
Injectables offer versatile and effective solutions for aesthetic enhancement and restoration, catering to individual needs and preferences with minimal downtime compared to surgical options.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: Popular for their versatility and safety, HA fillers are used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve skin hydration. Brands include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers: Radiesse is a well-known CaHA filler that provides immediate volume and stimulates collagen production for long-term benefits.
Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers: Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production, ideal for deeper wrinkles and areas requiring significant volume restoration.
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Fillers: Bellafill offers long-lasting results by providing a permanent collagen-stimulating effect.
Biostimulators:
When injected, biostimulators act as a scaffold that encourages the body's natural regenerative processes. Over time, this leads to increased collagen production and tissue regeneration, improving volume, texture, and skin elasticity
Renuva: Injectable treatment designed to stimulate the body's own production of collagen and other extracellular matrix components. Renuva, for instance, is made from allogeneic adipose tissue matrix, which contains growth factors and collagen.
APPLICATIONS
Facial Enhancement and Restoration:
Cheeks: Fillers like HA and CaHA restore volume loss due to aging, creating a youthful contour.
Lips: HA fillers enhance lip volume, shape, and definition.
Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines: Fillers smooth deep lines between the nose and mouth or from the mouth to the chin.
Under-Eye Hollows: Fillers can address dark circles and hollows, providing a refreshed appearance.
Jawline and Chin: Fillers and fat grafting can define the jawline and chin for a balanced facial profile.
Body Contouring:
Buttocks: Fat grafting (Brazilian Butt Lift) adds volume and shape.
Hands: Fillers rejuvenate aged hands by restoring lost volume and reducing the appearance of veins and tendons.
Structural Improvement:
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Fillers can refine nose shape, correct asymmetries, and create a more balanced facial structure.
Temporal and Forehead Rejuvenation: Fillers restore volume to the temples and smooth forehead lines.
These treatments can offer significant improvement in skin quality and aesthetics, typically with minimal downtime. Always consult with a qualified medical professional to see if these treatments are appropriate for your specific needs.
